Hang On to Truth

So many people say they are Bible believing but violate more of God's word than they obey, even fighting to defend their false doctrine.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"

Some of those myths are the acceptance of divorce and remarriage, interpreting scripture in terms of the culture instead of what God meant, self esteem, Christian yoga, the incorporation of pagan practices into the gatherings, Christians dating non-believers, one man pastorship and much more.

There is very little that goes on in the church today that resembles the first century gatherings of born again believes.

The only remedy for this is for each person to ask God for truth even if it means leaving behind things you have believed all your lives. Even if the famous educated preachers are teaching something, if the Holy Spirit is telling you something different, then you must ignore those preachers and go with the Holy Spirit.

John 16:12-14 "…12 I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it. 13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.…"

Jeremiah 23:16 "16 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD."

Preachers today are often speaking what the hearers want to hear not what God says.

Seek God not man!!!!! Hang onto what God tells you even if everyone else around you is mocking and demeaning you.
